! ANTIRATTLING DEVICE FOR WINDOWS Filed Dec. 14, 1934 ATTORNEY Patented Aug. 27, 1935 UNITED STATES ANTIRATTLING DEVICE FOR WINDOWS Harry Golden, New York, N. Y., assignor to Magna Products Corp., New York, N. Y.

Application December 14, 1934, Serial No. 757,473

1 Claim.

This invention relates to anti-rattling devices; and more particularly to devices for preventing the rattling and vibrating of automobile windows.

Heretofore, devices of the class herein described have comprised essentially a resilient, member adapted to be attached to a window sill, the resilient member having mounted thereon a rubber roller which engages the window to prevent rattling thereof. The resilient member is attached to the sill by means of screws, the member being provided with two or more holes for this purpose. However, such devices have been found objectionable in that they are incapable of being accurately adjusted so that the roller will engage the window with the proper amount of force. This non-adjustability is due to the fact that the holes for the screws may or may not be located in the resilient member in a manner to enable proper positioning of the latter. In an attempt to overcome this objection, there has been provided in the resilient member a longitudinal slot to receive two or more screws. However, this expedient is also objectionable in that after a short period of use, the screws become loosened and the member slides on the screws.

It is, therefore, an object of this invention to provide an anti-rattling device for automobile windows which can be accurately adjusted to the correct position to enable proper engagement of the roller with the window.

These and other objects are attained by the novel construction, combination and arrangement of parts hereinafter described and shown in the accompanying drawing, constituting a material part of this disclosure, and in which:

Fig. 1 is a view showing the manner in which my device is applied to an automobile window.

Fig. 2 is a plan view of the device.

Fig. 3 is a side elevational view of the device.

Referring to the drawing, in Fig. 2, my anti- I rattling device is shown to comprise a flat resilient member 5 formed from tempered steel and hav- 5 ing a curved portion 6, the extremity of which is bent at 1 around a pin 8, upon which is rotatably. mounted a rubber roller 9.

The member 5 is provided with a longitudinal slot H), the edges of which have a plurality of '10 teeth II, which are adapted to engage screws l2.

It will be seen that the teeth ll enable the member 5 to be adjusted readily to the proper position to cause the roller to engage a window glass. l3 in an effective manner. By means of the 15 teeth I I, minute adjustments can be made; which heretofore were not possible with a plurality of holes.

The foregoing disclosure is to be regarded as descriptive and illustrative only, and not as re- 20 strictive or limitation of the invention, of which obviously an embodiment can be constructed including modifications without departing from the general scope herein indicated and denoted in the. appended claim. 25

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is:

An anti-rattling device for automobile windows, comprising a flat resilient metal member having 30 a longitudinal slot anda curved'extremity, said member having a plurality of teeth projecting into the slot to enable close adjustments of the member to a-plurality of positions by means-of screws engaging the teeth, and a rubber roller 35 rotatably mounted on the curved extremity.
